mechwarrior 5 just hopping along?
« on: 07 March 2020, 18:19:54 »
ok i am on 3rd play through and have yet to see AI use jump jets on any of its mechs.
same goes for my lance ...AI it seems has not been using jump jets

so any one else  or just me?

funny thing soon as i jump i become a target for all mechs and crawlers as well as gnats in the area

I haven't played the game myself, but I've heard many times on message boards that it's common to remove the jump jets that aren't used in favor of more armor for mechs piloted by suicidal AI.

Regarding AI, here's a pretty in-depth post on how to best equip your AI buddies' mechs.

And yes, absolutely take jump jets off AI mechs, it's just a waste of space on them. You can keep them on your mech, but they're only marginally useful in my opinion. Better use the tonnage for something else.

What's funny is, I've seen AI Allies use Jump Jets.

Well, twice. In over a hundred hours of gametime. And neither time was a time very conductive to combat or mobility.

The JJs are so underpowered that anything using them appears to just sorta hang there, suspended in the air with little appreciable motion. The only time I've ever headshot a Spider was when it was JJing in front of me.

Pulled it down to update for the latest patch, but you may want to check this out for an AI improvement when it is released again.

That also includes the Jump Jet mod to make them more useful. Which you can download separately here.
